Martin Custom Shop Slope Shoulder Dreadnought All Mahogany Short Scale 

Serial: 2906759

This Martin Custom Shop Slope Shoulder Dreadnought is a hand-built instrument that embodies the warmth, power, and vintage soul of an all-mahogany design. Built in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, this short-scale slope-shoulder dread features a mahogany top, back, and sides, delivering the rich, woody tone and quick response that made Martin’s early 18-style guitars legendary.

Its 24.9" short scale, forward-shifted scalloped bracing, and Golden Era construction provide exceptional balance and touch sensitivity, while the Cherry Stain gloss finish and antique white appointments add a timeless visual appeal. This model was designed and built exclusively by the Martin Custom Shop, combining pre-war inspiration with modern craftsmanship for a truly expressive acoustic voice.
